Let’s get this straight: donald trump gives Vladimir Putin a diesel deal and six months of sanctions relief, then expects applause for his “America First” negotiating genius. Apparently, squeezing Putin’s war machine was too complicated, so we’re trying the innovative approach of reopening its cash register. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly supplies Iran with intelligence to help target American forces. What a magnificent arrangement: give Moscow another revenue opportunity while it helps Tehran locate our troops, then put on a flag pin and explain how deeply you support the military. For the Republicans and useful idiots defending this, apparently “support our troops” now means thoughts, prayers, and a business opportunity for the people helping put them in the crosshairs. But please, tell us again how kneeling during the anthem is the real betrayal

As soon as MBS cuts off Jared from additional "investment" dollars, @realDonaldTrump will send in the Marines against the Houthis...

Telling the truth is far above @realDonaldTrump pay grade: “Even under the fantasy assumption that every promised barrel arrived tomorrow and landed only in the United States, the ‘immediate’ shipment would cover barely half a day of American diesel demand. It would not lower pump prices in any meaningful or durable way—it would simply give Putin a new customer, Trump a press release, and motorists the same bill.”

If the Kremlin needs an American lobbying arm, it apparently no longer has to hire one—just tune in to the White House briefing room. The @CIA director goes to Moscow, Jared and Stevie “negotiate” with Vlad, Hegseth starts clearing out senior officers from what looks suspiciously like a Russian HR spreadsheet, and Trump again discovers that Ukraine’s real offense was having the audacity to be invaded. At this point, the peace process seems less like diplomacy than a branded-development pitch: Trump Tower Moscow—where every concession has a luxury view, every intelligence briefing comes with a nondisclosure agreement, and the penthouse is reserved for whoever remembers to blame Kyiv before dessert. The only unresolved due-diligence item is whether Jared and Stevie chose the site near Red Square—or simply wherever Vladimir pointed and said, “This one.”

Suppose the Democrats don’t fuck up the midterms and actually deliver the landslide the pollsters are predicting. Does @VP , with one eye on 2028, go to the Cabinet before January 1st and ask them to invoke the 25th Amendment? Do @Republicans finally locate a spine and dump the Trump connection? We are watching a man’s sad decline into what looks like dementia. Can the VP and the Cabinet convince him that stepping aside under the 25th is a better exit than a third impeachment, one that this time could actually succeed?

Congratulations @realDonaldTrump and @SecKennedy. You just MURDERED your fifth Pennsylvanian with measles. Two were infants, 1004 cases. 198 hospitalized. First measles deaths in PA in 35 years. Who is number six?

After a foiled Iranian terrorist attack, the US has, tail between its legs, pulled its bombers out of the UK airbase... Remind us again, @realDonaldTrump , @SecWar, how decisively we have beaten the Iranians...

Delivered by a southern white man, this speach is even more profound than Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" gotdocg.substack.com/p/the-p…

Yesterday's senate circus was a clear demonstration of the the IGNORANCE eminating from Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina and Louisiana... The four @gop senators made complete fools of their constituents...

I’m a student of history, and I have a small quandary for the faithful followers of the orange-faced Jesus replacement: the @CNofUSA, the Born Again crowd... HALLELUJAH! Name one, just one. One teaching of Jesus of Nazareth that Donald the Con, @realDonaldTrump, actually follows. Surely, somewhere between the gold sneakers, grievance sermons, and serial self-worship, one of you can identify a single Beatitude he has not converted into a fundraising opportunity. Take your time... well, not too much time. My life plan only budgets another 18 years, and I would hate to leave this earth still waiting for the answer.

.@CNN @kaitlancollins @camanpour @FareedZakaria @smerconish ... Which part of the Carter/Iran history is giving you trouble? Tehran will not end the Trump War until it has extracted the maximum political price. It will not entertain serious talks until after January 1st, once the new Congress is seated. This isn't analysis. It's a rerun. You've seen this movie — you just forgot the ending.

Hey PUTZ... @realDonaldTrump.. Latest polls have your approval rating lower than your (purported) handicap... The @USGA theorem at work... The larger the wager, the greater the probability that you will cheat...

Thoughts and prayers for @realDonaldTrump, facing the agonizing choice between American foreign policy and keeping the Saudi money spigot flowing into Jared's "investment fund." Truly a profile in courage. We'll all be watching as he bravely picks the one with more zeros.

The @gop throws out claims about the @democrats going communist as though they even understand what communism actually is... Or are the MAGA minions really that fucking stupid... Oh, they are!!! Never mind...
